Instructional Strategy Ideas: “I Do” Teachers should be modeling content area reading strategies such as annotation of text from the textbook, Gateway book, or any other supplemental material addressing the standard. Teachers are also suggested to use primary/secondary sources such as political cartoons or images of Issues during the Civil War. These images can be found on the national archives site or a Google/Bing search and analyzed by the teacher and students using the Political Cartoon Analysis Protocol.
Teachers may use a PPT that guides students through notes, but is limited to the designated timeframe of the “I DO/WE DO” portion of the instructional framework.
“We Do” Teachers can allow students to guide the analyzation process during whole group while supporting and providing feedback to the students’ commentary.
“You Do” Students should be in groups, actively in use of the “my evidence notebooks”, or having student driven discourse on the topic.
Students may also be responding to the essential questions, or have been released to work independently on their own political cartoon images.
Teachers are suggested to implement the gallery walk strategy with the use of primary source images during the student work period as well. |
Differentiation Ideas:
“Interactive Notebook”: SS.912.A.2.1. Students will create a graphic organizer/foldable identifying the Causes & Consequences of the Civil War & Reconstruction. Using the information from their organizers, students will answer the essential question, citing evidence, in their notebooks: “Essential Question: Describe the economic differences and states’ rights that divided the North & South. Explain how sectionalism and the issue of slavery lead to the Civil War and the consequences of those differences”? (See example in the Interactive Notebook Folder on Blackboard)
